Abe Kobo (19241993) was one of Japan's greatest postwar writers, widely recognized for his imaginative science fiction and plays of the absurd. However, he also wrote theoretical criticism for which he is lesser known, merging literary, historical, and philosophical perspectives into keen reflections on the nature of creativity, the evolution of the human species, and an impressive range of other subjects.Abe Kobo tackled contemporary social issues and literary theory with the depth and facility of a visionary thinker. Featuring twelve essays from his prolific careerincluding 'Poetry and Poets (Consciousness and the Unconscious),' written in 1944, and 'The Frontier Within, Part II,' written in 1969this anthology introduces Englishspeaking readers to Abe Kobo as critic and intellectual for the first time. Demonstrating the importance of his theoretical work to a broader understanding of his fictionand a richer portrait of Japan's postwar imaginationRichard F. Calichman provides an incisive introduction to Abe Kobo's achievements and situates his essays historically and intellectually.
